| The Mental Kaleidoscope (cont.) We are so used to controlling people and situations to obtain a particular result that we have forgotten how to use the power of faith. The Law of Faith says, 'Plant the right seeds, make the right effort, but also let things be.' Faith does not mean to be passive (inactive) but rather to have acted and thought about something and then have the patience and trust that the Drama of Life is also taking care of it; the outcome of any action is not just up to me. In the spiritual knowledge taught by the Brahma Kumaris, we often hear the term 'a faithful intellect is victorious'. As the Drama of Life turns, such an intellect works like a kaleidoscope and can perceive and see the often hidden, beautiful patterns in life’s situations that, in time, become visible and benevolent. Success, or victory, depends as much on doing the task with the right intention, as it does on allowing things to take their own course. Wisdom is an awareness of this balance. |

ABOVE THOUGHT IS WORTH UNDERSTANDING. IN ANY SITUATION THERE IS A LIMIT UP TO WHICH EFFORT-REWARD RATIO IS FAVORABLE.KEY TO SUCCESS IS TO DECIDE THE LIMIT. TO CORRECT BEHAVIOR OF MY CHILD.SAY, I GIVE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND LET THE THE THINGS UNFOLD. EXCESSIVE TAMPERING WILL BE COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.
ReplyDeleteTHIS WAITING FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN IS BEING PRACTICAL. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FAITH AS MENTIONED ABOVE. EVEN IF I HAVE NO FAITH THAT THINGS WILL WORK OUT IN TIME, I ALLOW THE THINGS TO TAKE THEIR OWN SHAPE AS THERE IS PRECIOUS LITTLE THAT I CAN DO AND MORE EFFORT IS LIKELY TO BE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.
